Commission. This action was unani-
nous and was taken without discus
sion. the members having all come to
the conclusion that Judge Cooley
was the best fitted for the position.
The Commission then proceeded to
the temporary quarters selected for

A Remarkable Storm.

LYNCHRURG, Va. March 31.-Re-
ports from Tazewell County say that
a terrific thunder, hail and snow Wis.,
tied that section yesterday. Hail
stones an inch in circumference fel,

WINCHESTER, VA, March 81
A heavy snow storm has prevailed
here all day. Snow has fallen to the
depth of several inches, thus closing
an unprecedented March for our val

backward with their work.
RICHMOND, Va, March 31.-Snow
fell here all day, but did not attain
much depth, owing to the warmth of
the earth. .--. ..:
STAUNToN, Va, April 1T has
been showing almost continuously
to-day. On the mountains the snow

be some fruit, and that the early vege-
tables are not all killed.

HAT LOTTERY FORAN oMINATION
How the Hon. W. II. Perry Got his
Seat in Congress.
Baltimore Sun.

WASHINGTON, March 20. MIR. VIM.
Hayne Perry, who represents the
Fourth South Carolina District in
Congress, is known at home as a
strict economist, and it was expected
that he would rival, if not excel, Mr..
Holman in guarding the treasury.
During the 49th Congress he did
not figure very conspicuously in the
debates, but with two sessions ex-
perience he may astonish his Con-
gres,ional associates in the next
House. Some of his friends in
Greenville remarked when he started
foC Washington, just after being be.
ing elected, that perry would fall in
fit or drop dead the first time he
encountered . bill appropriating sew
eral million dollars" He survived
one term in Congress, and hopes to
pull through the 50th. That he is a
child of fortune is shown by the
story of his nomination. After his
predecessor, Col. Evins, died there
was a lively and a prolonged con.
test over the nomination. Over one
hundred ballots were taken without
result being reached. Finally it
was proposed to put the aames Of
the three leading candidates into a
hat, and the first name drawn out
should receive the nomination, which
was equivalent to an election. Messrs.
Perry, Gaillard and Monroe were the
rival candidates, and their names
were placed in the hat. Mr.. Mon.
roe's representative was given the first
draw, and, to his disappointment, the
slip ofpaper he drew from the hat con-
tanned the name of Perry-the man
whom he had been fighting vigorous.
ly throughout the contest.

PRICE $3.50 A YEAR.
NO CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.
The Case at the Philadelphia Hospital
Only Experimental.

PHILADELPHIA, March 81. This
weeks Medical Neus, to be issued to-
morrow, will state that the recent ar
ticles extensively published through
out the country announcing the cure at
the Philadelphia Hospital of a number
Of patients suffering with consump.
ton, through treatment by injections
of carbonic acid gas and sulphuretted
hydrogen, greatly exaggerated the
success of the treatmen@. The treat
ment was first introduced by Bergeon,
Of Lyons. In al editorial article on
the subject the Nears says:
Very many of the statements
which have been spread over the
country was absolutely false. So far
as we know there have been no cases
cured, certainly not at the Philadcl-
phia Hospital, and even those Of
Bergeon's patients who were most
benefited continued to have slight
expectoratiou, containing bacilli.
The results at the Philadelphia Hos
pital, in the limited series of cases
which have been under treatment,
have been in the reduction Of fever
and sweats, the lessening of expecto-
ration and in the increase of weight.
These are gains to be thankful for
and encourage US to hope that We
may have remedial measure of some
value; but further than this nothing
can be said. This is, as we usually
meet it, not an acute disease, and an
experience Of seven weeks is far too
short time in which to form a judg-
ment Of the permanent benefcent ef-
feet Of the treatment. It will take
year or two at least to thoroughly
test its value. and meanwhile it is
sad to think that so many poor vic
tins of this dreadful disease will suf.
fer also the delirium of the false hope
aroused by the premature and uni
liable statements which, unfortunate.
ly, have been given wide currency"

about his dangerous state Of health
is all nonsense. He vas never
better in his life than lie is now. His

port about his precarious condition

DO you believe Cleveland will
be nominated, and if nominated

Yes, I am reasonably certain of
it. 1t would be the greatest mistake
ever committed by any party for the
democrats to nominate any other
person. Cleveland was when first
nominated much stronger than
lis party. Now he is decidedly
stronger than he was then. He
is by long odds the strongest
man in either party, and will sweep
the country next year. l am mug

him with enthusiasm when he was
nominated, and did what | could to
secure his election. 1t was an ex.
pertinent then. We believed Cleve,
land to be the man, and we were
willing to give him a trial. For the
time being we were willing to sacri'
flee our party predictions. We
felt that Cleveland would give the
entire country \ safe and peaceable
administration Our confidence was
not misplaced. He more than full
filed our expectations. lie has made

"Suppo-ing that Cleveland should
be again nominated, do you believe
the mugwump element that helped to
elect him the last time, would sup
port him again p
"Why not Yes, Of course the
mugwumps will vote for him. There is
much stronger reason to support him
now than there was then. When the
mugwumps voted for him three years
ago, Cleveland was an experiment
now he is proved success. Besides
the thousands of business men in the
North who were afraid to trust the
democrats with power have been won
over by the conservative, safe and
successful administration. All fears
shout the democratic party revolu
tionizing the financial affairs and
overturning the established institu
tions and wrecking the government
have happily been dissipated. The
solid business men will support
Cleveland because he has demon
strated his ability to serve the whole
country. My own opinion is that
Cleveland will be nominated, anc
that lie will be triumphatly elected

Let Men Govern Themselves. :"
Ne,c 0,k Star.

-Nesc York Star.
1t has lately been q common say
ing that there is no difference be-
tween the great parties Of the coun-
try. That no one can tell wherein a
Democrat is different from a Repub-
lican.
This is great mistake. The gulf
which separates them is deep, and
can neither be filed up nor bridged
over. 1t is in the nature Of man.
One class Of men are filed with
desire to govern other people.
Another class merely desire to gov
ern themselves.
Tie desire to govern others is
usually based upon a firm belief that
it would be good for the others to be
governed. This is quite natural.
Men who have had opportunities for
education and travel, who live at
ease, and are we'll sustained by their
own self-appreciation, are likely to
think that their less fortunate fel-
lows who have not been taught in the
schools, and whose daily lot is one
of toll, will not govern themselves as
we'll as they can be governed.
1t is the old story. 1t is the at
tempt to make other men good. But
it has beer the hardest job that man
has ever undertaken. We are often
told Of the evils which alcohol pro-
duces, but they are not tithe of the
evils which have been wrought by
the effort to make other men good.
That seemingly praiseworthy motive
has caused most Of the warfare, tor
ture and tyranny that the human
rece las endured.
Against this pharisaical motive the
Democrats announce the simple rule,
Let men govern themselves
We are now having a striking ex-
annie of the differences of which we
have spoken. The village clergyman
and banker, the farmer who lives in
seclusion and sees his neighbors on
ly at the meeting house, the man
who keeps a store at the four
corners, are quite likely to think that
New York and Brooklyn are very
bad places, and that their wicked
ness is in proportion to their size.
Therefore these country folk find
themselves moved by a strong de-
sire to make New York and Brook
lyn as good as their own neighbor-
hoods are. Accordingly they frame
a law which does not apply to them
selves, but which is meant to reform
the two great cities.
All people who like to govern
others, all people who think it their
duty to make others good, support
the measure. Speaker Hustled sup
ports it. The Times and the Post
support it. They believe in trying
to make others good. The Herald
seems to be Influenced by the same
purpose, and also supports it. The
World, which does not know the
differer between Pharisee and {
Democrat, supports it. The Sun
looks at it darkly through one of its
spots and argues for it. Republi'
cans quite generally approve it.
But Democrats everywhere, with
out hesitation and by q: sort of in
stinct, denounce it, and oppose it.
The people at once see that there is
q great difference between Repub'
licans and Democrats, the difference
that exists between those who would
govern others and those who are
content to govern themselves. The
former are the Pharisees and hypo,
critics whom the Master denounced
the latter are the sinners whom he
blessed and forgave.

The New Postmaster for Enthusiastically
Fairchild Enters upon his Duties

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Postmascer
Albert II. Mowry has his appoint
ment in his pocket and is now On his
way to Charleston, accompanied by
Representative Dibble. lie called
at the postof1ice department early
this morning and was presented to
Postmaster General Villas. While in
the department it was ascertained
that the official notification of his
appointment was prepared for mail
ing and was delivered to the new
appointee in person. lie then took
the II a. IN. train for Charleston to
secure lis bond and make the other
necessary arrangements for taking
possession Of his office as soon as
practicable. Mr.. Dibbls says Mr..
Mowry will have no difficulty in fur
nishing satisfactory bondsmen. lie
also states that Mr.. Mowry's appoint
ment is satisfactory to Senator But
lcr.
South Carolinians here WHO are
familiar with the situation in Char
lesion are not surprised at the dis
satisfaction resulting from Mr.. Now
! rvs appointment, and the dispatches
on the subject from Charleston
printed this morning have been free
ly commented upon. A well.known
South Carolinian, in discussing the
; matter to-day, said he was certain
there would be some disappointment,
however, the question was decided
because of the prominence and stand
ing Of several Of the aspirants. He
congratulated himself that he WAS in
no way responsible for the outcome
Of the contest. It was natural for
Mr.. Dibble to stand by his friend,
Mr.. Mowry, and it was claimed that
he violated no pledges in securing
his appointment. He stated yester-
day that while in Charleston recent
" he secured such information as
was obtainable on the subject, but
did not commit himself to any. one.
lie says he has never shirked any
responsibility that belonged to him,
and he will not do so in this case.
It is said that the President be-
came familiar with Mr.. MoWry's S
claims for recognition through the
efforts Of Senator Hampton and rep.
resentative Dibble to secure an ap.
pointment either in the internal rev.
enue service or in the treasurer g
Office. It was as an applicant for
one of these positions that Mr.. Now
ry called. upon the President. The
latter, it is said, was pleased with his
manner and address in addition to
the: substantial endorsements be pre-
sented. The Yolitlcal situation was
presented, and it was said that Of the
two factions in Charleston one had
secured all Of the local prizes. while
the other had been ignored. Mr.
Mowry was designated as an active
representative of the heretofore IN
recognized faction, and in the in
teress of fair-play his claims were
pressed successfully.
